“The scaffolding gave way—and I fell two stories. Kyle got me the compensation I needed to recover.”

In Texas, the statistics say it all:

• 126 construction workers died in a single recent year—more than any other industry in the state
• Falls, trips, and electrocutions remain the top causes of injury and death
• A significant percentage of those injured are Latino workers, many of whom are misinformed about their rights

Construction injuries often involve:

• Long-term disability or chronic pain
• Lost income during recovery or permanent loss of earning capacity
• Expensive hospital stays and rehabilitation
• Emotional trauma or PTSD
• Insurance companies and contractors trying to shift blame

Whether you were working on scaffolding, inside a trench, or operating machinery—if you
were hurt on the job, you have rights. We’ll fight to protect them.

Construction accidents don’t just “happen.” In many cases, they result from a failure to follow safety protocols, rushed timelines, or poor supervision.

Some of the most common causes we’ve seen include:

• Falls from heights – unsecured scaffolding, ladders, or lack of fall protection
• Electrocutions – exposed wiring, poor equipment grounding, or improper training
• Struck-by injuries – falling tools, materials, or equipment
• Caught-in/between accidents – trench collapses, crushed by machinery
• Lack of proper safety equipment – missing harnesses, hard hats, gloves, or goggles
